Though I've read numerous stories of folks building extensions, I've never read of anyone using the hull itself to generate a form with matching compound curves. More often they use some flexible material and battens and settle for a straight run, which is fine I suppose; I may go that way. I've know folks to pull molds from the hull to repair damage (pull a mold from the other side of a cat); they just waxed it well and laid up a few layers of glass.

Any practical advise? I'm only talking about 2 x 4 ft^2 areas. I suppose I could use a release film, but I wonder if the surface would be as good.
